One of the most interesting things about supporting an application that gets deployed to common shared hosting providers is that we get to see how virtually everybody's hosting works.
We're obviously familiar with GoDaddy and 1&1, plus the other "big" providers, but every once in a while a client will need to host on a server or with a company that we haven't used yet.
Yesterday provided just such an opportunity.
The following information is particular to sites hosted at BizLand.com
The client deployed to the server and got a failure message. Further examination showed it was due to a PHP version lower than the requirement (PHP 5 is required). This fix was easy enough through BizLand's Control Panel.
Next, the installation refused to allow a log-in. Intuition and experience told us that there was something wrong with how this server handled sessions. It appears that at BizLand.com the user must set their own PHP Session Path in the PHP.ini file.
Once we added the PHP Session Path to the PHP.ini file all was well and PHPSeeds V4.5.1 ran like a top on the BizLand server.
Here's a BizLand help document that gave us some tips and pointers:
